Title: @1 Web Publisher: Making a webpage editable
How to make the text content, the images or the links editable.

Step 1:
Login with the master password. Add the webpage (which you want to make editable) to the "Editable File List" by keying in the full path and hit the "Add a Page" button.

Step 2:
If Step 1 is done correctly, the new page should show up in the "Edit a file in Editable File List" drop-down menu. Select it and enter the Edit Mode.

Step 3:
You should be seeing the full content of the webpage in the large area text box. Locate the sections that you want to make editable and bracket them accordingly using these tag pairs:


<!-- upoint type="textbox" name="Section 1" rows=n -->
The text content here
<!-- /upoint -->
where n is the number of rows of area input box

<!-- upoint type="email" name="Email 1" -->
<a href="mailto:mail@domain.com">Contact Lawrence Now</a>
<!-- /upoint -->

<!-- upoint type="imageURL" name="Image 1" -->
<img src="http://www.upoint.net/images/logo.gif" align="left">
<!-- /upoint -->

<!-- upoint type="link" name="Link 1" -->
<a href="http://www.upoint.net">Back to Main Page</a>
<!-- /upoint -->


Step 4:
Switch to the Slave Mode (by clicking the Slave button in the Master Mode or by login using the slave password). Edit the editable area like end users.

NOTE:

1) For the image tag pair, you can enter the full URL (start with http://) or just the image filename. If you enter only the image filename, the URL of the default image folder (as set in the main script) will be automatically used.

2) For the link tag pair, always start the URL with http:// or broken link may be resulted.

3) Adding or deleting a page to/from the "Editable File List" does not actually create or remove that page to/form the server. It simply means making it editable/non-editable to Web Publisher.
